This book is about the lives of Street children in the capital of zambia, lusaka. These children have such a hand to mouth existence, and life is so cruel, that they keep a plastic bottle filled with glue and mixed with solvents, to constantly take sniffs from.
But the title, "walking the bowl," is a lovely premise: doing a kindness for someone, and telling them to repay you by paying it forward, or doing an act of kindness for another. It has a snowball effect in this story that makes for a lovely, if unrealistic ending.… (mehr)

It is one of my favorite books so I was intrigued to read this account of street children in Lusaka, Zambia, a city of 6 million in south-central Africa. Brace yourself, this is a trip through hell. Beyond the descriptions of glue sniffing, rape, begging, human trafficking, etc.. there is a story about a murder and one street kids journey through the (literal) underworld of Lusaka to find the killer before he too is killed. In the end, there is a message of hope within the title, which the reader can discover what it means. It's remarkable the authors, who are aid workers, were able to piece together the events of a stunning drama in the lives of a few anonymous African street children. It is eye opening and unforgettable.… (mehr)
